If Pokemon had been first drawn in the days of feudal Japan, those pocket monsters might have looked a bit different. In fact, they likely would have taken on a similar style as the demons which fill ancient Japanese scrolls. This clever Japanese artist redrew the Pokemon, reimagining their design to resemble ancient mythological Japanese creatures. First there was Godzilla, ...

Monsoon season is just around the corner. And you know what that means. Massive rainfall in a short amount of time. For a photographer, just the mention of rain can cause your anxiety level to rise. That’s why something like the ThinkTank Hydrophobia Rain Cover can come in such handy if you’re in a heavily moist climate. Zipping right around ...

How long has it been since you’ve actually been to the dentist? Probably longer than it should be, huh? Luckily for you dentists aren’t the only ones who care about your teeth and the damage you sustain from chewing on your damn pencil all the time.

Pope Benedict XVI is hip. He’s with it. He knows that blogging is becoming a religion, or perhaps a cult, all its own. In fact, he’s so digitally connected that he recently endorsed, no no, ENCOURAGED the use of blogging by the clergy for spreading the word of God. That should attract all of those damn Gen Y whipper-snappers. I’ve ...

Ahh, Coke. Other than beer, probably the prototypical American beverage of choice. Why create a phone celebrating the iconic soda? Well, why the hell not. Even if you prefer Pepsi you can’t deny the dramatic impact that Coke as a brand has had on the world culture. So, why not, indeed? Why not mash together the American love of caffeinated ...

As a leading voice for the American Dental Association, us here at Gearfuse are ardent supporters of using these Pre-Chewed Pencils, rather than gnawing on a #2 of your own. We dentist supporters are tired of hearing about our doctors complain about finding wood chips in between their patients teeth. Enough is enough, we say! Each pre-gnawed utensil sells for ...

Even if these shoes didn’t tweet, they’d be awesome just for the fact that they brand the image of the Twitter bird. I love that little guy. But factor in that these Rambler shoes actually send a wireless signal via Bluetooth, listing data about your walking speed and pressure, through your mobile phone and straight to your Twitter feed, and ...
